What is TestDaf?

The Deutsch als Fremdsprache test measures your proficiency in German. It provides foreign students with the
opportunity to enroll in Germany’s higher education system (universities and Hochschulen).

In order to be clearer, the testDAF is for all students who:

1) Have not completed secondary education in Germany,    

2) Want to attend a German university (or a similar-sounding Hochschule) or

3) Wish to carry on with the education they began abroad.

The following groups of people can also attend the testDAF:

1) Overseas pupils who must prove their command of German in their own country;

2) Students who desire to take a language test to demonstrate their acquired proficiency in
German at the conclusion of their study programme in Germany

The testDAF comprises 4 components:

1) Written comprehension

2) Oral comprehension

3) Text production

4) Oral communication
